Thunder Click Board
Thunder Click Board
The Thunder Click Board™ is designed to detect the existence and proximity of potentially hazardous lightning activity within a 40km radius. The Thunder Click Board™ is also capable of providing an estimation of the distance to the head of the storm from 40km away down to 1km in 14 steps, while rejecting disturbances from man-made signals, such as motors and microwave ovens. It can also provide information on the noise level, which makes it an ideal choice for weather stations, sports equipment, UPS, power line conditioners, smart grid systems, environmental monitoring systems, portable GPS, bike computers, etc.
The Thunder Click Board™ provides detection of both cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning activity within a 40km range.
Software Support
Application Task
Always checks if an interrupt event happened (Listening mode) and after that gets the information about a storm. Results logs on UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
storm_mode = thunder_check_interr( &thunder );
if ( storm_mode == THUNDER_NOISE_LEVEL_INTERR )
{
log_printf( &logger, "Noise level too high\r\n" );
}
else if ( storm_mode == THUNDER_DISTURBER_INTERR )
{
log_printf( &logger, "Disturber detected\r\n" );
}
else if ( storm_mode == THUNDER_LIGHTNING_INTERR )
{

log_printf( &logger, "Energy of the single lightning : %ld\r\n", storm_energy );
log_printf( &logger, "Distance estimation : %d km\r\n", storm_distance );
